Anna Thornton's article links teachers to superb resources from the Arts Alive web site for teaching about music, theatre, dance and marketing and design for the Arts.

Designing active and authentic learning experiences The Journal of Learning Designis an educational journal which moves beyond a focus on technological applications in educational settings, to encourage more critical analysis of approaches to the design of learning environments and the extent to which they result in enhanced learning outcomes for learners. Traditional, didactic, delivery-focussed models of teaching in higher education are still common, whether in the lecture theatre or in the online environment. The Journal of Learning Designaims to raise awareness beyond such transmission models of education, to the design of more active, collaborative, authentic and engaging learning experiences. The Journal of Learning Designaims to provide a forum for critical debate and professional exchange about models, theoretical positioning and best practice in learning design.

The Arts Alive web site offers a wide range of resources for teachers who want to teach about or with dance, drama or music. The resources range from recordings orchestral performances and interviews with artists to collections of theatrical posters and related lessons about graphic design.
